Case collapsing
The rape case against Victorian Labor MP Theo Theophanous appears to be collapsing:
Correspondence that could support a woman's claims that Labor MP Theo Theophanous raped her may have been falsified, throwing doubt on the allegations against him.
Two former friends of the woman told a committal hearing in the Melbourne Magistrates Court yesterday that conversations attributed to them in letters and emails from the alleged victim never happened.
Unless the prosecution has one or two aces up its sleeve, these proceedings may not progress beyond the committal stage.
